background-process

I have searched a lot to find the exact answer but didn't find any. many people mentioned that we should & at end of command to don't wait for response. for example to run bg.php in background , this was recommended: exec("/usr/bin/php bg.php &"); but it doesn't work for me. and the main script waits for complete execution of the bg.php . I also read somewhere to write bg.php output in a logfile but my background script doesn't produce any output. It does some process and then write something in database. I just want my script to run bg.php and don't wait for it to end. please help me

I am trying to display a notification in the Android notifications bar even if my application is closed. I've tried searching, but I have had no luck finding help. An example of this is a news application. Even if the phone screen is off or the news application is closed, it can still send a notification for recent news and have it appear in the notification bar. How might I go about doing this in my own application? Idipaolo You have to build a Service that handles your news and shows notifications when it knows that are new news ( Service Doc ). The service will run in background even if

I've written a simple application in order to test and monitor how the background fetch feature works in iOS7. First of all, I've set UIBackgroundMode options in my Info.plist file. Then; I added to below code into application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method in AppDelegate.m : At last, I've implemented the application:(UIApplication *)application performFetchWithCompletionHandler: method as requested. Every time I click Debug->Simulate Background Fetch button, it changes the application's batch number and works as expected. However, I've never been able to make it work when the

I am developing my first web application using ASP.Net MVC, and I am in a situation where I would like a background service to process status notifications outside of the application, not unlike the reputation/badge system on stackoverflow. What is the best way to handle something like this? Is it even possible in a shared-hosting environment like Godaddy, which I am using. I don't need to communicate with the background worker directly, since I will be adding notification records to a database table with a column set to an "unprocessed" state. Then the worker will just scan the table on a

In an Android app, I have to make multiple GET requests to a URL in order to transmit data to an external server (that's how the third party API works). Data comes in sporadically. I store this data in a queue and want to send it to the server in a background asynchronously without slowing down the main UI thread. Each unit of data in the queue requires a GET request. The queue has to be emptied even if the app closes. What's the best practice to do this? Please post/direct me to code/tutorials. What's the best practice to do this? That would depend on what "this" is and where this work is
